ReviewedLook around your home! What do you spy? This title uses a repetitive sentence pattern and strong visual cues to help young readers discover wonderful things at home. This book features repetitive and predictable text and incorporates high-frequency and familiar sight words. Children just learning how to read will love these colorful and engaging nonfiction books.
Using simplicity and consistent text patterns, this I Spy series (8 titles) book is an effective tool for teaching early literacy skills. A series of seven twopage spreads walk readers through a house, where one object is identified in the room and then described with an adjective. For instance, in a large photo of a living room with a velvet sofa,I spy a couch appears at the top of the lefthand page, printed in a red text box; the bottom of the right page reads,It is blue, which is situated in a blue text box. These regular text features support pre and beginning readers through their reliable repetition. The spotted objects reappear in a picture glossary, and a note to caregivers offers tips for reading along with children.
